Battery life? not great?

[DSMpowerhousegroup]

I don't plan on using the 120Hz just because I want that extra battery power.

This is like buying a high powered sports car and driving 30 mph to me all of the time. Nah. I run all my devices to there full potentials. If I wanted less I'd buy less.??????

Not the same thing at all.

The point is. If I wanted less performance I'd buy less. Why buy top of the line and not use it? Just save the money and buy a lesser device. If I buy a high end sports car I'm going to push it some. I'm not going to drive it like it has only 140 horsepower. No offense intended. It had a smiley face behind it, but for some reason it didn't show. Lol.

OH.MY.GOD. I absolutely HATE seeing fast cars putt along at 60 on the freeway. I'm like come on bruh. Just drive on the feeder. You got a 500HP V8 and you're being passed by a Smart car (no offense to smart cars). I drive my lil Regal like she's a 'Rari or something!

Cool. But I'm away from a phone charger for 12+ hours a day. Many of you have the luxury of plugging in your devices whenever you can. I don't.

I have my opinion on this matter and you have your opinion.

Medium power mode also try , get little more battery life if not by charger for long periods.

I used to worry about battery life, but no more. I use it how I want to without a care about brightness, what settings, and all that jazz. Nowadays we've got the option to have chargers in all shapes, sizes, and wattage...with or without wires. We can juice up just about anywhere in 30 min or less. I realize no one wants a device with abysmal SOT, but its just not a big a deal as it used to be to me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The best battery tip I was told years ago was to turn off the battery % sign in the phone's status bar and just enjoy the phone.

Actually the 120hz display will give you better battery life than the 60hz because of the LTPO
tech

It just sucks that by using the 120Hz refresh rate, it gimps the phone to FHD. I guess when I get the phone I will have to decide whether or not the difference in refresh rate trumps the screen clarity. Either way you're compromising one feature or another...

120hz from 60hz is far bigger difference. FHd to QHD really isn’t noticeable not when the display is so good anyway

 

[DaBlackman619]

Same. The refresh rate and camera is the main reasons for me. If the Note 10+ had 120 refresh I would be staying put. Also the new dex is an amazing perk as well

 

[DaBlackman619]

You won't notice a difference at all from clarity but you definitely notice it in refresh rate. This is why they opted to keep it this. They didn't want to push that battery to much especially with the bad PR from Note 7

Actually the reason for no 120 at max resolution is because Exynos can't keep up.

If samsung add it to S21 with the monster new exynos chip then maybe but if they still don’t then it’s not down to the exynos 990

Just poking and having fun. I've never had battery issues though other than when I had a Droid X. I've run every phone to its full capabilities. It last pretty much all day and I don't charge in-between. I'm a hard user too. Currently on Samsung S10+. Even got through the day when I had the S6 Edge and its battery was tiny in comparison. The only thing I do with them is not let apps run rogue. I've found that to be the key. I don't have thousands of notifications going off and at the top like I see lots of people's phones. Too much clutter. I'll cut back those, that's it. Lol. I can't wait until this Note arrives. Will be my first Note actually. I've always bought the Galaxy S series. Enjoy your new device sir. It's just opinion as you said I wasn't judging you I promise.

No worries.

I'm not buying the device for the 120Hz display. I'm buying it for the S Pen, extra storage (512GB!), and the 12GB of RAM. I wish they'd give us a 90Hz display option. I'd keep that on all the time.

Who needs good battery life when you have this????

 

[Deke218]

You'd get better battery running at 120. 60 is constant. The 120 is adaptive. Is only runs at 120 when it's needed. Most times it's running less that 40..
